Life With Parkinson's in my 40's- Thanksgiving, the beginning of a Holiday State of Mind

We started the month of Nov with a fun night at the Carousel Dance club with some of our dance friends.

Thanksgiving day...

Ariana dazzled everyone with her artwork.  Something to do before dinner.  She's like her big sis...

I was happy to have 3 of my four kids and my dad and stepmother at our home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Also joining us, though not in any pictures was my dear friends, Elaine Morris and Patricia Bryte. Their
pictures here are from previous occasions.

Thanksgiving is all about eating and making the eating 'place' beautiful.  I love my new eating place......
I loved setting my new dining room table which sits more than 4 people ...yeah!

I coaxed everyone to stand still for a picture before dinner.

Cody and Clair....so good to have them here together again.  Seems like yesterday that they were little and planning mischief together.

Cody gave Oliver a lesson in cool Thanksgiving Day attire.

Oliver wasn't near as excited as Cody about their matching shirts..

Grandma and Grandpa relaxing.........                                       Pizza Night!

Cody's 1st ornament   (sorry Clair, I don't have one of yours...love you though)

Some of my favorite angel ornaments

Just after Grandp and Grandma went home we went into a few days of deep freeze in Modesto.

Lots of ice.  So many people were falling and getting hurt.   Californians...........

Ariana's school

Our Frosty roof

The sky above our house at 7:30 am the morning of the first freeze

We took a temple trip with Chad and Clair and got some pretty pictures again.  It was stormy the whole day and temple hill was shrouded in mist-

We saw at least 3 different rainbows on the way home.

Our cutest little niece in the world-  JoJo.  I took this picture waiting for Ariana when we picked her up from Marshall's house where she stayed while we were in Oakland.

That's our last month or so....
